Where's river rat's study posted at?

Sorry is this has been posted before, but here is a site that has cut open a bunch of oil filters and compared them. http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilters/index.html http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilters/reference.html

How many miles do you run it, do you change the filter any between oil changes?

I have a 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid. It calls for 0w20, but I can not find it locally. I can get 0w30 or 5w20, which would be best? Thanks!

I purchased a Honda Civic Hybrid and it calls for 0W20 oil, but local Wal-Mart only has 5W20 on the shelf. Will the 5W20 be ok, or should I find the 0W20 somewhere else? Thanks!

Well I bought everything I needed to change my oil, crawled under my truck to take the oil filter off and after I finally found it I became very agitated due to the location of the filter. GEEEZ! No way I could reach and loosen the filter. So I took it to Wal-Mart and got them to change my oil...

I'm gonna use a Mobil or Bosch filter then, whichever I can find.

Vetteman makes some good points. I'll use the Mobil Drive Clean until 5,000 miles.

Well I read on Mobil's site and Amsoil's site that syn oil can be used immediately. Unless anyone has some valid points I guess I'l use syn right off the bat.

So the smaller the micron # the more particles it will catch? Thanks for the great post.

Shouldnt I wait before I put the Mobil 1 in since it's a new motor?

I'm gonna change my oil for the first time in my 2003 F-150 tomorrow. I'm gonna use Mobil Drive Clean 5w-30 for this one and switch to Mobil 1 around 5000 miles. Does this sound like a good plan?

Read this info below on another post. What does all this mean and which "micron" speed does a person want? Does the higher # micron = better?? Bosch Premium - 98% @ 15 micron first pass 93% @ 15 micron multi-pass Mobil 1 - 98% @ 10 micron first pass 95% @ 10 micron multi-pass Super Tech - 98% @...

I'm gonna use regular mobil at first then switch to synthetic.

My truck isnt driven much at this time because my job provides me with a company vehicle and I dont pull anything major with it. It will also see quite a bit of interstate driving. Right now I plan to use Moible 1 then switch to Moible Synthetic. As far as weights go I probally will use 5w-30...
